Substance Abuse Clinical Trials

Explore Opportunities to Participate in Substance Abuse Research

What Is Substance Abuse?

Substance abuse, also called substance use disorder, is a condition in which the use of alcohol, opioids, stimulants, or other substances becomes difficult to control and begins to affect health, relationships, work, or daily responsibilities. It is a medical condition, not a personal failing, and it can affect anyone.

Recovery looks different for everyone, and many people continue to face cravings or setbacks even after trying existing approaches. Continued clinical research plays an important role in exploring additional ways substance use disorders may be addressed in the future.

How You Can Help Advance Substance Abuse Research

At Equity Medical, substance abuse clinical trials give people the opportunity to take part in carefully monitored studies that explore new ways substance use disorders may be treated in the future.

Each study is overseen by physicians and supported by an experienced clinical research team. If you may be eligible, our staff will clearly explain what participation involves, without judgment, so you can decide whether a study feels right for you.

  • Have struggled with alcohol, opioid, or other substance use
  • Want to reduce or stop using a substance
  • Have tried existing approaches and continue to experience cravings or setbacks
  • Are open to participating in a clinical research study under medical supervision

Submitting your information does not enroll you in a study. Our team will contact you to determine whether there’s a current research opportunity that may be a good fit.
